The Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at <a href="https://jordangazette.com/emirati-ai-experts-lead-discussions-in-abu-dhabi-and-dubai-during-nep-ai-roadshows/”>Dubai South has inaugurated a new facility for RH Aero Systems (RH Aero), reinforcing Dubai’s position as a regional aviation services hub.
Operating under its Ready, Reliable, Relentless promise, RH Aero will use the facility as its regional hub for Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and Engine/Airframe Tooling services across the Middle East, Africa and India. The move supports the company’s expanding global service network and strengthens its footprint in the region.
The new RH Aero Service Center spans approximately 2,800 square metres and is divided into four adjacent bays of 700 square metres each. The layout has been designed to accommodate future growth and capability expansion, underlining the company’s long-term commitment to the Middle East.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by senior leaders from both organisations, including Tahnoon Saif, chief executive officer of MBRAH, and Martin Dürr, Executive Vice President, EMEAI Region, RH Aero.
The facility will offer inspection, testing, calibration and recertification services, alongside maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of tooling and GSE. It will also provide proof-load testing, modification and upgrade programmes, as well as local technical support, on-site services and Aircraft on Ground (AOG) assistance. These capabilities are aimed at enhancing turnaround times and delivering OEM-licensed tooling support to airlines, MROs and OEM partners across the region.
Saif said: “The expansion of internationally recognised players such as RH Aero reflects the confidence that leading aviation partners place in MBRAH’s integrated ecosystem and contributes to our mandate of empowering the aerospace industry.”
Dürr said: “This facility will allow us to deliver faster turnaround times, OEM-aligned tooling and GSE service solutions, and enhanced service proximity to our partners across the Middle East, Africa, and India. We look forward to growing our footprint in the region in close collaboration with the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub.”
RH Aero, through its businesses Rhinestahl and HYDRO, provides custom-designed GSE, OEM-licensed engine and airframe tooling, and operates 26 global service centres. The company serves OEMs, MROs and operators worldwide.
